Owner’s Manual DG100
5
Connections
The DG100 is provided with all the audio and MIDI connections required as standard including the sockets for the pedals needed for its opti-
mum use. The only optional extras are the video interface and the two pedals. Below are the connections, from the left to the right of the panel:
MICRO 1: Audio input for microphones on balanced XLR connection. It is preferable to use this input for the main microphone for two major
reasons: the balanced connection produces lower background noise and is more resistant to environmental interference. The signal made avai-
lable by this input can be processed by the Vocalizer built in the DG100.
MICRO 2: Audio mono Jack input 1/4’ unbalanced for auxiliary microphones. The Micro 2 signal cannot be processed by the Vocalizer built in
the DG100, but only by the overall effects.
MICRO GAIN: This controls the gain of the Audio microphone inputs.
PHONES: This is used to connect a stereo headphone.
MICRO 2 OUTPUT:
Monophonic audio output 1/4’ of the input signal of Micro 1 no processed by the Vocalizer internal effects as Reverb and chorus.
MICRO 1 OUTPUT: Monophonic 1/4’ jack direct audio output of the input signal of Micro 1 processed by the Vocalizer but not by the internal
effects like Reverb or chorus.
OUTPUT LEFT/MONO 1, RIGHT 2, 3, 4: Monophonic 1/4” jack audio outputs where the Left out can work as the summed monophonic
output for the whole instrument. When the Left and Right outputs are used the DG100 works in stereo. Outputs 3 and 4, are monophonic, and
can be used for particular instrumental sections of the keyboard so that they can be controlled by an external mixer or processor with sepa-
rate effects.
PEDAL FOOTSWITCH: This is a multipolar socket used to connect optional pedals with six or thirteen switches,
to control many functions including automatic accompaniment commands.
SUSTAIN PEDAL: This is the socket for the Sustain On/Off type pedal.
VOLUME PEDAL: This is the socket for the continuous Volume control pedal. It is advisable to use pedals produced by Ketron to avoid dan-
gerous short circuits or abnormal conditions in general.
MIDI In (GM): Midi Input Port used just to control the General MIDI timbre generator of the DG100 with sixteen MIDI parts.
MIDI In 2 (Keyboard):
MIDI port for connecting an external MIDI keyboard or accordion which can operate the DG100 in a similar way to its own keyboard.
MIDI Out: MIDI port used to send the data generated by the DG100, including automatic accompaniment and lead part.
MIDI Thru: MIDI port that passes through unaltered all received data only from the MIDI IN 1 input.
COMPUTER INTERFACE:
The DG100 can be directly connected to a PC or to a Mac via this port, thus acting as MIDI interface between the two units.
VIDEO INTERFACE: This optional device is used to display the words of a Midi file and other information provided by the musician on a moni-
tor for the audience.
MAIN SWITCH: This push button turns the DG100 on.
AC: Socket for the power supply cable.
